Carol Gulbrand

Carol Gulbrand is a 10-year WalMart service desk

employee, honored with assisting Sgt. Bruce Jacobs of
the Manitowoc Police Department to protect Manitowoc
area citizens from scammers.

One often-used scam is for the perpetrator to call a potential
victim, posing as a relative, and asking that money
be sent to alleviate some dire circumstance. It can
be very convincing because of the availability of family
information on the Internet. Rather than sending cash or
a personal check, for safety’s sake it is suggested that the
victim use a wire transfer service offered through

“After getting literally hundreds of phone calls from people who lost thousands of dollars
from scams,” stated Sgt. Jacobs, “I decided that public presentations, radio spots and
newspaper articles were not reaching nearly enough people. I decided to go to the businesses
that were wiring the money, beginning with Wal-Mart.”

Carol immediately recognized the seriousness of the situation, especially after learning
that much of the scammed money goes to terrorists. She began to gently query customers
who wanted to send money through the MoneyGram® service offered at Walmart to
determine if they might be potential scam victims, and call Sgt. Jacobs if suspicions were
raised. Carol served as a good role model, causing other WalMart employees and other
businesses and banks to buy in to the effort. Success was soon realized. In one 52-day
period, 24 scams were intercepted, saving $46,045.00 from going to scammers.

“While it might be easier and less embarrassing to just complete the customers’ requests,
Carol chose to do the right thing because she cares about people and her community,”
said Sgt. Jacobs. “She has taken it upon herself to be a champion in preventing
community loss through internet, lottery, family-in-need, or Money Gram scams.”

Dean Dvorak from the Manitowoc Noon Rotary Foundation surprised Sue Sippel Rotary member and Director of the Domestic Violence Center with a check supporting the shelter at the September 12, 2013 meeting. The Foundation is the recipient of our Happy Dollars and Raffle money. The dollars you share each week make a difference!

Rotarians reach out to promote medical independence.

For the seventh year in a row, a group of district Rotarians traveled to Guatemala to provide medical services. On January 17th, an advance team of six boarded a plan at Chicago O'Hare to set up a clinic in Oliveros, a small Guatemalan village accessible only by boat that is near the El Salvador border. Three days later, the rest of the team followed. Comprised of many disciplines and backgrounds, they provided front-line services to more than 1,100 residents during the five days the clinic was open.

The group of 35 included a Two Rivers Rotarian, Brian Jensen. Tales of the journey will be shared at the Monday, October 24th meeting of the Two Rivers Rotary Club. Among the impressions formed on the trip is the first hand realization of Rotary's impact around the world. This Rotary-sponsored trip underscores the importance of reaching beyond a local club to grasp what it means to be a Rotarian.PRESIDENT JOE WILL BE ASKING FOR YOUR RSVP CLOSER TO THE EVENT.
